What is the easiest way to set the pinion angle??

I have a magnetic protractor, but I don't remember what I really need to do........:confused:

Thanks,

Bob,

Here is a thread I found: http://thefactoryfiveforum.com/showthread.php?4926-Horrible-vibrations-after-switching-rear-to-coilovers&highlight=driveshaft+angle

Hopefully the link will work. If not, you can see the title of the thread in the posted link, which is from the Roadster forum.

Thanks Jacob,
I believe the manual suggests the pinion agle should be 2 degrees upward while the thread you referred me to suggests 2 degrees downward. The thread seems to make more sense. I must not be too far off as I don't have any vibration or binding with the 17 miles I have put on the car running it up and down the county roads. I'm not legal yet so I don't go very far, I have had the car up to 60mph.
What I'm thinking is I need the pinon agle to be two degrees less than what the transmission agle is and the easiest place to measure that according to the thread is to measure off the front crank pulley.
